Unfortunately, many of us will encounter this variance in treatment in our careers, which can stem from different management styles, individual biases, or the unique dynamics between manager and employee.
But here’s what’s important to remember: it’s entirely within your wheelhouse to take control of your response.
#1) ?????? ??????????????????:
If you sense something is off, don’t shy away from seeking clarity. Open a dialogue with your manager to better understand their expectations and decisions. Sometimes, simply asking, “Can you help me understand your perspective?” can clear up misunderstandings and foster a more collaborative relationship.
#2) ???????????????? ?????? ????????????????:
Your voice matters. If you feel you’re being treated unfairly, speaking up is crucial. Whether about workload, opportunities, or recognition, advocating for yourself ensures that your contributions are acknowledged and valued. Remember, no one can champion your cause better than you can!
#3) ???????? ?? ???????????? ???? ??????????????:
Before reacting, take a step back. Sometimes, the best action is to pause, reflect, and process your emotions. Use this time for introspection—ask yourself if the issue at hand is something you want to address now or if it’s better left alone. Not every battle is worth fighting; choosing your battles wisely can save you energy and focus on what truly matters.

After introspection, decide on a course of action. Whether you address the issue head-on, let it go, or even explore other opportunities, make sure your decision aligns with your values and short and long-term goals.
